possible exposure? please help!
Hi,
I got french kissed by a random guy around two weeks ago in a club. I do know that kissing does not transmit hiv, but i perpetually have chapped lips (which sometimes have peeling skin and even bleeding). I don't think my lips were bleeding that night, but I'm really worried because I've been experiencing cold-like symptoms, fatigue, and sore muscles since then. I didn't actually let him get in that far, but afterwards my whole mouth felt really slimy. Actually, i've had a cold for two weeks before the actual encounter, which lasted another week after the encounter, which I'm not worried about. But, I just got a back-to-back cold again with fatigue and sore muscles a few days ago. Could the second cold be an hiv acute symptom? I'm really worried. Please help! Thanks!
